ERD (Entity Relation Diagram)
2.1 History of ERD
An entity-relationship model (ERM) is an abstract and conceptual representation of data. Entity-relationship modeling is a database modeling method, used to produce a type of conceptual schema or semantic data model of a system, often a relational database, and its requirements in a top-down fashion. Diagrams created by this process are called entity-relationship diagrams, ER diagrams, or ERDs.
This technique was developed by PETER CHEN in 1976 since

If an entity set participates in a relationship set, they are connected with a line.
Attributes are drawn as ovals and are connected with a line to exactly one entity or relationship set.
Cardinality constraints are expressed as follows: * A double line indicates a participation constraint, totality or subjectivity: all entities in the entity set must participate in at least one relationship in the relationship set; * an arrow from entity set to relationship set indicates a key constraint, i.e. infectivity: each entity of the entity set can participate in at most one relationship in the relationship set; * A thick line indicates both, i.e. objectivity: each entity in the entity set is involved in exactly one relationship. * an underlined name of an attribute indicates that it is a key: two different entities or relationships with this attribute always have different values for this attribute.
Attributes are often omitted as they can clutter up a diagram; other diagram techniques often list entity attributes within the rectangles drawn for entity sets. Chen's notation for entity-relationship modeling uses rectangles to represent entities, and diamonds to represent relationships appropriate for first-class objects: they can have attributes and relationships of their own.

Which of the following defines a relationship in which each occurrence of data in one entity
In social databases, a one-to-numerous relationship happens when a parent record in one table can possibly reference a few youngster records in another table. In a one-to-numerous relationship, the parent is not required to have youngster records; in this way, the one-to-numerous relationship permits zero tyke records, a solitary kid record or various kid records. The imperative thing is that the youngster can't have more than one parent record.

* As explained throughout this course, entity relationship modeling is a critical element of database design. If the database is not properly modeled, it is unlikely that the database will be properly developed. Using this knowledge, explain the key reasons why entity relationship modeling is important, and determine at least (1) way in which it impacts the overall development of the database.
Same Domain Values: Data within a column adheres to a single domain. For instance a geneder column will have values for gender but no other.
If we consider an example of a database for billing the claims to the provider, we have two tables in the database as ‘Claims’ and ‘Provider’. ‘Claims’ have the claim information such as (ClaimNumber, ClaimType, Type of service, Admission details) and ‘Provider’ have the provider information such as (ProviderID, FederalTaxID, NPI, PointOfService). The primary keys for ‘Claims’ is “ClaimNumber” and for ‘Provider’ is “ProviderID”.
The class diagrams show the attributes, operation, class name sand also the associations that in this example is a bi-directional association with the multiplicity in each point where it can be:
Although Change Request No. 3 seems fairly simple, it will bring to light any issues that might have been encountered while interpreting the tables from the ERD Diagram. It is not uncommon for changes to be needed to the database after it has been created from the ERD. Moreover, now is the best time to catch these issues before the system is fully functioning making it much more difficult to make certain changes.
An attribute is an arrangement that defines the property of an object, folder, or file. Attributes should more correctly be considered metadata because it is the settings of the specified object, folder or file.
Write an unambiguous definition for each attribute. Then, redraw PE Figure 7-1 by placing the six (and additional) entities in this case on the diagram along with their associated attributes.
A. Lab # : BSBA BIS245A-1 B. Lab 1 of 7 : Introduction to MS Visio and MS Access C. Lab Overview--Scenario/Summary TCOs: 1. Given a business situation in which managers require information from a database, determine, analyze and classify that information so that reports can be designed to meet the requirements. 2. Given a situation containing entities, business rules, and data requirements, create the conceptual model of the database using a database modeling tool. Scenario: You have been asked to create two conceptual database models using MS Visio Database Model Diagram Template. The purpose of this lab is to have you gain familiarity with the various modeling tools needed to create a conceptual model (entity relationship diagram) of a
Lines are paths or marks left by moving points and they can be outlines or edges of shapes and forms. Lines have qualities which can help communicate ideas and feelings such as straight or curved, thick or thin, dark or light, and continuous or broken. Implied lines suggest motion or organize an artwork and they are not actually seen, but they are present in the way edges of shapes are lined up.
